Procurement learning and development is beneficial for a wide variety of roles beyond the procurement team, helping your employees to improve their communication and negotiation skills and gain a better understanding of the global context for your business.

Greater organisational understanding of procurement can drive better decision making by giving employees of all levels insight into cost optimisation, supplier performance, and risk management. By analysing data trends, companies can forecast demand, negotiate better terms, and streamline operations, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective supply chain, and a more profitable business. The Roundtable Program allows this important procurement knowledge to be built across departments in your organisation – with one membership giving you unlimited access to the program.

To enhance supplier performance and collaboration, implement strategies such as regular performance reviews, clear communication of expectations, and collaborative goal-setting. Additionally, investing in technology for shared data access and streamlined processes fosters transparency, strengthens relationships, and aligns supplier objectives with company goals. But all of these tools and techniques need the soft skills that back them up, which is how The Roundtable Program’s combination of foundational skills training, community groups, and networking equips members with the tools to progress.

To foster innovation and continuous improvement within the procurement team, encourage a culture of learning and experimentation, invest in ongoing training, and leverage technology to streamline processes. Unsure where to start? The Roundtable Program sets your team up for success by giving them access to the essential hard and soft skills, as well as training sessions with global knowledge leaders who equip members with a transformative mindset.

To develop and retain top procurement talent in a competitive job market, we need to offer continuous learning opportunities, career advancement paths, and competitive compensation packages. The ability to help them elevate their knowledge, skills and network will be crucial. The Roundtable Program can help you to address employee retention with a learning and development program, providing unrivalled knowledge, insights and networking access at scale.
